Introduction:
What does a rainbow look like?
What does your favorite song sound like?
What does a flower smell like?
What does a kitten feel like?
What does a peanut butter and jelly sandwich taste like?
These questions can be answered by
using your Five Senses. Every day, we use our Five Senses to learn about the world we
live in. What would happen if you lost your senses? How would you learn about the things around
you?
The Challenge:
Silly Sam was outside playing when he fell down and bumped his
head. Now he can’t remember what each of
his five senses do. He needs your help.
Using the questions below, draw or write your answers down on a sheet of paper.
After answering the questions draw Sam with his five senses in the correct
place so that he can be able to hear, see, smell, touch and taste again!
What sounds do you hear? Choose two and draw the animals that you hear.
